Summary:A biochip holder is disclosed, the holder including a means to receive a biochip, a vacuum port in communication with the received biochip, and a vacuum source connected to the vacuum port. Liquid from flushing of the biochip is pulled by vacuum force into a vacuum port and can be collected in order to prevent cross-contamination of the biochip. A method of collecting fluid from such a biochip is also disclosed. L'invention concerne un support de puce à ADN muni d'un dispositif servant à loger une puce à ADN, d'un orifice sous vide communiquant avec la puce à ADN logée, et d'une source sous vide reliée à l'orifice sous vide. Le liquide provenant du rinçage de la puce à ADN est retiré par une force sous vide dans un orifice sous vide et il peut être recueilli de manière à empêcher une contamination croisée de la puce à ADN. Cette invention a également trait à une méthode de collecte de fluide provenant d'une telle puce à ADN.
